Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Advanced Technology Clinical Simulation Manikins in Improving the Capability of Australian Paramedics to Deliver High-Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Pre- and Postintervention Study

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Advanced Technology Clinical Simulation Manikins in Improving the Capability of Australian Paramedics to Deliver High-Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Pre- and Postintervention Study

Dyson [3] found that the odds of survival were higher for patients treated by paramedics with 7 or more OHCA exposures compared to paramedics with 6 or fewer OHCA exposures during the preceding 3 years with a dose-response, whereby greater OHCA exposure was linked to greater odds of patient survival. Of note, there was no association between paramedic years of career experience and patient survival, highlighting the importance of case-volume exposures for all paramedics throughout their careers [8].

The Use of Medical Services for Low-Acuity Emergency Cases in Germany: Protocol for a Multicenter Observational Pilot Study

The Use of Medical Services for Low-Acuity Emergency Cases in Germany: Protocol for a Multicenter Observational Pilot Study

In the first phase, each individual question on the web-based questionnaire was reviewed by an expert panel at the Department of General Medicine at Heidelberg University Hospital, and in the second phase, the questions were discussed with the heads of operations at the rescue coordination centers, as well as with selected paramedics. The focus was on the feasibility of this pilot study. When this study is rolled out (at large scale) there also will be analyses of interrater reliability.

AI Algorithm to Predict Acute Coronary Syndrome in Prehospital Cardiac Care: Retrospective Cohort Study

AI Algorithm to Predict Acute Coronary Syndrome in Prehospital Cardiac Care: Retrospective Cohort Study

Patients were recruited in the prehospital setting by nurse paramedics. All data were acquired by a nurse paramedic and noted in AMBUFORMS (Topicus). Baseline characteristics are shown in Table 1. Patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, (cardiac) shock, or patients visited by the EMS for noncardiac symptoms were excluded.

Usability Testing and Technology Acceptance of an mHealth App at the Point of Care During Simulated Pediatric In- and Out-of-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitations: Study Nested Within 2 Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trials

Usability Testing and Technology Acceptance of an mHealth App at the Point of Care During Simulated Pediatric In- and Out-of-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitations: Study Nested Within 2 Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trials

Red dots represent the mean SUS score in paramedics and blue dots in nurses. Capped blue and red lines represent the 5th and 95th percentiles. Crosses represent medians (paramedics: 92.5, 5th-95th percentiles: 74.125-100; nurses: 90, 5th-95th percentiles: 72.5-100). Distribution of counts of System Usability Scale (SUS) total scores. Red dots denote paramedics; blue dots denote nurses.

Impact of a Mobile App on Paramedics’ Perceived and Physiologic Stress Response During Simulated Prehospital Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Study Nested Within a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Impact of a Mobile App on Paramedics’ Perceived and Physiologic Stress Response During Simulated Prehospital Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Study Nested Within a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

In many countries, paramedics have the autonomy to prepare and administer emergency drugs. However, the impact of acute stress experienced by paramedics during OHCA on emergency drug preparation has rarely been studied. Le Blanc et al [14] observed that paramedics under simulated high-stress conditions performed worse on drug dosage calculations than those under calm, relaxed conditions.
